Touring in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is one of the most popular ports on any Baltic or Scandinavian cruise itinerary — and one of the few where many cruises begin or end. The city is compact, walkable and packed with history, from the 17th-century waterfront of Nyhavn and the copper spires of Baroque churches to the world-famous Tivoli Gardens, the Little Mermaid statue and the royal palaces at Amalienborg. Beyond the city center, day trips to Kronborg Castle in Helsingør (the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet), the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art are all within easy reach. Whether you're arriving by cruise ship or staying at a hotel, your private driver-guide will design a day around what interests you.
